Medicare is a type of medical health insurance developed by the government for older persons, in addition to those that have certain disabilities and sicknesses. When someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only exception is, the individual must receive treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehab, they can also get to see their medical doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically essential, and the physician will generally approve what sort of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation solutions. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual must be hospitalized because of their issue, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they've got to self pay.
